DESCRIPTION:<p>Several times a year\, at the&nbsp\;<em>The New England Symposium on Ancient Philosophy\,</em>&nbsp\;a New England-affiliated scholar working on Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy presents work-in-progress for discussion over Zoom.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><br> Our February meeting will take place on Thursday\, February 17 at 4:30 EST and will be a discussion of&nbsp\;Margaret Graver's "Seneca's Treatise on Benefits: Real Kindness and Real Agency." <br> Here is Margaret's description of her paper:&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>While the central concept of Stoic ethics was the appropriate action or&nbsp\;<em>kathēkon</em>\, considerable philosophical attention was also given to the act of kindness (<em>euergēsia</em>)\, that is\, the supererogatory favor. Seneca's surviving treatise presents the Stoic analysis and explores a set of interrelated puzzles raised by it. Issues of agency and volition are especially prominent\, in ways that have implications also for the larger Stoic theory of action.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><br> At the meeting\, Margaret&nbsp\;will give a short introduction to her paper and then we will turn to discussion.</p>\n<p><br> The discussion will presuppose that participants have read the&nbsp\;paper in advance of the session. The paper and Zoom link will be distributed to participants via email.&nbsp\; To allow yourself time to complete the reading\, please register at least 48 hours prior to the event.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<br> <br> You can register for this and other events on our website at&nbsp\;https://www.newenglandsymposiumonancientphilosophy.com/.</p>
